Filing for family member

I have the desktop TT.

How do I e-file returns for 3 family members?

Do I need to open a separate account before e-filing for each return?

Can I e-file all 3 from the same login I used to set up the TT on my computer?

 

Please clarify.

You don't need a separate account for additional tax returns in TurboTax Desktop.

 

Just click the icon to open the program, and choose 'Start a New Return' from the menu.

 

You don't login at all using the desktop software; you used a login to install the program initially.

My concern is that all 3 family member returns go to the IRS electronically from my TT desktop product.

No one signs them.  I submit thru TT.

Am I supposed to be doing it differently?

That's all you do.  That's right.

But what about signing the return attesting to the accuracy.

It only says "self-prepared"

It is self prepared.  You are just helping them.  Turbo Tax is a do it yourself program.  It is self prepared because it can't be used by a paid preparer like an accountant.
